Along the way, this galactic odd-couple must evade the Erd Tourist Board - a powerful mega-corporation which will do anything to ensure the mythical Earth stays mythical - and deal with a crackpot religious cult who not only possess a cure for Colin’s illness, but who also believe there is more to this caveman from Earth than meets the eye....Don't miss the start of this side-splitting intergalactic adventure.

Strategic Risk Management: New Tools for Competitive Advantage in an Uncertain Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min
This audiobook presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an evermore volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.Organizations typically manage risks through traditional tools such as insurance and risk mitigation. Some employ enterprise risk management which looks at risk holistically throughout the organization. But these tools tend to focus organizational attention on past actions and compliance. Executives need to tackle risk head-on as an integral part of their strategic planning process, not by looking in the rearview mirror.Strategic risk management (SRM) is a forward-looking approach that helps teams anticipate events or exposures that fundamentally threaten or enhance a firm’s position. The authors - experts in both business strategy and risk management - define strategic risks and show how they differ from operational risks. They offer a road map that describes architectural elements of SRM (knowledge, principles, structures, and tools) to show how leaders can integrate them to effectively design and implement a future-facing SRM program.SRM gives organizations a competitive advantage over those stuck in outdated risk management practices. For the first time, it enables them to look squarely out the front windshield. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Bronzi.

Politics: Between the Extremes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
Politics has changed. Five years ago Britain had a coalition government built on compromise. Now the Conservatives rule unchallenged, a chasm has opened up between Left and Right and the centre ground is deserted. Nick Clegg knows the volatile state of modern politics better than anyone else. Here he offers a frank and honest account of his experiences - from his spectacular rise in the 2010 election through his tumultuous years as Deputy Prime Minister to a brutal defeat in 2015 - in order to tell the inside story of this change and reflect on what it means for our future. He writes candidly about his own mistakes - including the controversy around tuition fees - the tense standoffs within government and the sometimes bizarre challenges he faced. He lifts the lid on the arcane world of Westminster, offering startling insights into the hidden workings of government, and reflects deeply on the decision to enter coalition with the Conservatives. In a rapidly and profoundly changing world, he argues that the long-term survival of progressive politics relies more than ever on the radical reform of our outdated political system. Whatever your political persuasion, if you wish to understand how Britain is run today you cannot afford to ignore this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Clegg.

Narrow Margins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 586min
Narrow Margins is the true story of one family's journey from the financial crash of the Rover car company to an alternative and better lifestyle. Faced with the loss of everything - the house, the cars, and more importantly, their rather lazy and indolent lifestyle - Marie Browne and her family took on the challenge of a whole new way of life. Strapped for cash, the family buy a decrepit 70ft barge called Happy Go Lucky which had been run as a floating hotel. Outdated and in need of a complete refurbishment, Happy becomes their floating home. First they need to learn the ropes and many pitfalls beset their adventures. As they come to terms with living on a narrow boat, listeners gain a fascinating insight into life in the slow lane. Marie Browne is a gently harassed mother of three who, for the past 15 years, has been desperately trying to escape the Customer Service Industry. Apart from her husband and kids, the best things in her life are real ale; barbecues; ugly mad dogs that nobody else wants and cream-covered designer coffees. She also has an obsession with shoes, but her husband is threatening to get her help for that. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Scott.

Real Numbers: Management Accounting in a Lean Organization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min
Are you getting a true picture of your company’s performance?The disturbing answer, for most senior managers and CFOs today, is no. The culprit? Current management accounting practices produce financial statements that are unnecessarily complex and confusing. As a result, most companies are run by executives who do not fully understand their own financial information.This explosive issue and its implications are fully explored in Real Numbers. The authors, each a chief financial executive, describe how management accounting evolved to this point and how simplicity and clarity can be restored - particularly in a lean organization.Companies throughout the world are using lean principles to dramatically change the competitive landscape while generating new profitability and market share. As these companies transform, however, financial executives are usually not prepared for how lean principles affect finance and do not know how to streamline accounting. The management accounting model illustrated in Real Numbers points the way to unlocking the true profit potential of lean.The authors, both leaders in their companies' lean transformations, guide the listener through the necessary changes in finance that will allow accountants to become valued business partners instead of bean counters. You will also learn the simple rules of an accounting system that replaces the outdated approach focused on inventory value. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Bierma.

The Good News About Bad Behavior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
The current model of parental discipline is as outdated as a rotary phone. Why don't our kids do what we want them to do? Parents often take the blame for misbehavior, but this obscures a broader trend: in our modern, highly connected age, children have less self-control than ever. About half of the current generation of children will develop a mood or behavioral disorder or a substance addiction by age 18. Contemporary kids need to learn independence and responsibility, yet our old ideas of punishments and rewards are preventing this from happening. To stem this growing crisis of self-regulation, journalist and parenting expert Katherine Reynolds Lewis articulates what she calls The Apprenticeship Model, a new theory of discipline that centers on learning the art of self-control. Blending new scientific research and powerful individual stories of change, Lewis shows that, if we trust our children to face consequences, they will learn to adapt and moderate their own behavior. She watches as chaotic homes become peaceful, bewildered teachers see progress, and her own family grows and evolves in light of these new ideas. You'll recognize your own family in Lewis's sensitive, realistic stories, and you'll find a path to making everyone in your home more capable, kinder, and happier - including yourself. ungekürzt.

It's Time for Change: Expanding Consciousness Through Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min
The time to truly educate has come. Outdated schooling practices and methods inherited from a past era must be replaced by new ones that place the individual at the center of all learning. This audiobook addresses how true education has the power to redirect the course of humanity - one person at a time - and begins by differentiating education from other terms that are used synonymously. Words matter! By creating humanizing environments, true education can help alleviate common symptoms such as bullying and the dropout rate due to the confiscation of autonomy and the existing disrespect of personal integrity. Nourishing learning environments can also contribute to building healthy self-esteem, to actualizing human potential, and to expanding consciousness. Education must forcibly involve all young people’s human dimensions - physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual - which is certainly not the case in today’s world where curiosity and creativity are extinguished within a constant teach-to-the-test, competitive, and stressful environment. Pierre Demers presents a vision of what can be our path to making this world a better place. Instead of following the common tendency to try to improve school systems, this audiobook targets the reinvention of our ways of living in society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Kelly.
